How to Play Slots

A guide with hints, tips and strategy ideas to help you win when you play Slots online

These are really simple to play games that in the real casino's appeal to the casual gambler. Online is pretty much just the same. They are predominantly games of luck and chance. The basic premise is the same on all slots - you need to get three in a line, on the win line to win various amounts, determined by your stake. You play for credits, rather than coins. Each reel has 22 different images, or positions that spin round. The position of each reel comes to a standstill randomly on each spin and the casino should show you somewhere on the screen what the winning credits will be for each variation. Denominations can normally go down as low as 25p and certainly up to £5 a spin. Make sure you are comfortable with the random nature of the spins before you head off at £5 a spin!

Progressive slots is where you are playing for a prize fund that is increasing progressively - obviously! Most progressive slot wins are subject to final confirmation by the casino but you can expect them to be pretty close to their stated figure.
